(A/N: Thank you for the favourable comments! I will try to write Chuck and Blair in this chapter, so Nate, Vanessa, Dan and Serena will take a step back, unfortunately. But I'm not good at writing Chair, so please bear with me! By the way, the song for this chapter is Hey, Soul Sister by Train. Hope you guys enjoy this chapter! Thank you and keep reviewing!)
Flashback: Nate's too much in love with Vanessa, and tells Serena. She's made her choice. Her choice is Dan, the man she shouldn't have had a problem choosing in the first place.
(The next morning)
Chuck takes Blair by the hand and whispers gently, somewhat seductively, into her ear. "Blair, let's go the woods. You and me. No Brooklyns, no Serena, no Nathaniel. Just you and me in our perfect world."
Blair smiled, "Of course, Bass."
They walked under the shade of the canopies, hand in hand. Blair felt wonderful. There was just this element of surprise that Chuck had, he was so wonderfully mysterious, she never felt bored with him. Wearing a smart suit, he had his scarf on, and it gave such a different approach to a normally boring attire. It was such minor details that he knew Blair noticed, and he always rewarded her observance with a brilliant outfit to match hers. His sexy stubble, hugging his kissable lips, seemed to be taunting her towards him and she couldn't resist him.
As Chuck leaned in for a kiss, she gladly accepted, her tongue gently leaning against his, following his lead, without being pushy or forcing, they just moved along naturally, it was times like this that they knew they were the perfect other half for each other. They dropped to the soft ground, leaning against a tree, and Chuck bit her ear tenderly, kissing her just behind the hairline, her soft spot. "Just in time, I'm so glad you have a one-track mind, like me, You gave my life direction, A game show love connection, we can't deny I, I, I, I'm so obsessed, My heart is bound to beat right out my untrimmed chest, I believe in you, Like a virgin, you're Madonna and I'm always gonna wanna blow your mind."He sang, so softly, gently. It was a side of Chuck Bass that no one had ever seen before, it was a side of him no one but Blair knew existed. Heck, even he himself didn't know he had that in him. He was Chuck Bass, but Blair Waldorf brought out the best in him.
Blair was touched. Chuck Bass, he was the act of defiance in every singing class, right from kindergarten. And he had just sang, just for her. Was this a dream?
Chuck fiddled in his pocket, and smiled softly, his eyes a picture of uncertainty. He didn't know if this was right. For once, Chuck Bass could be rejected. He had never faced rejection before, he didn't want to start. But for Blair, she was the love of his life, she brought out the romantic gentleman in him, she made everything seem so perfect, without worries, without the expectations to live up to. With her in his life, everything seemed so different. He would risk this, all for her. She was worth every chance there was, he knew, deep in his heart.
Dropping to one knee, Chuck opened the Tiffany box, and said very simply, in a way only he could, "Blair, dear dear Blair, my Waldorf princess, will you marry me?" He took off his scarf, took the ring out of the box and held it gently with both hands, offering it to her. The ring was wonderful, it had a heart-shaped diamond, obviously customised. It wasn't the standard heart that you saw in stores, it was the wonky, uneven heart that Blair had drew for him before, the first time in art class, way back in kindergarten. He had kept it all this time, he had been in love with her for so long. He was her destiny, she was sure of it. "Yes, Chuck, yes. I love you, you silly romantic."
Chuck was overjoyed. He had gone to such ends, but even so he wasn't sure that she'll remember the heart she drew. It was the first time she drew a heart for him, and when they were young, her outspoken honesty drew him to her. And finally, he could show her that he loved her, so much. It had been so long, but he would not have to wait much longer, she would be his forever.
Sweeping Blair into his arms, Chuck carried her back to the mansion, walking slowly along the same path, whispering into her ears as she chuckled softly, mesmerised by his eyes, so piercing, so clear, they seemed to be reading her every thought. And each one of the thoughts that flashed through her mind were about him. She loved him more than she knew, this was what she had been waiting for, all along. They might have just graduated from college, but their love defied age, this was right where they were supposed to be. A trip planned for Serena to find her true love, confirmed Blair's.
As Chuck and Blair came through the door, Nate and Dan were preparing snacks in the spacious wet kitchen. The girls were making cocktails in the dry kitchen, giggling like schoolgirls. However, the sight of Chuck carrying Blair, his signature argyle scarf around her neck instead of his, simply sent a buzz through them, it just failed to register fully. "B, why are you wearing Chuck's scarf!" "Chuck proposed, S, and," "In simple terms, I've snagged the Waldorf, she's going to be a Bass."
Your lipstick stains
On the front lobe of my left side brains
I knew I wouldn't forget you
And so, I went and let you blow my mind
Your sweet moonbeam
The smell of you in every single dream I dream
I knew when we collided
You're the one, I have decided who's one of my kind
Hey, soul sister
Ain't that Mr. Mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair you know
Hey, soul sister
I don't wanna miss a single thing you do... tonight
Just in time
I'm so glad you have a one-track mind, like me
You gave my life direction
A game show love connection, we can't deny I, I, I
I'm so obsessed
My heart is bound to beat right out my untrimmed chest
I believe in you
Like a virgin, you're Madonna and I'm always gonna wanna blow your mind
Hey, soul sister
Ain't that Mr. Mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair you know
Hey, soul sister
I don't wanna miss a single thing you do... tonight
The way you can cut a rug
Watching you's the only drug I need
You're so gangsta, I'm so thug
You're the only one I'm dreaming of, you see
I can be myself now finally
In fact there's nothing I can't be
I want the world to see you be with me
Hey, soul sister
Ain't that Mr. Mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair you know
Hey, soul sister
I don't wanna miss a single thing you do... tonight
